my late mom once said that they(rs and fundies ) want to make the usa

[AllaN01Bear]

into a non democratic "religious" theocracy.

[demigoddess]

1. she was right and I agree with her.

[FakeNoose]

2. However they are the minority ... a small minority

I'm sure your mom knew that too.

We need to remain vigilant so that this small minority doesn't ruin it for all the rest of us.
They WILL do that, if we slack off for one minute.

8. Agree. Their advantages are that they are extremely passionate,

that others not realizing just what they're getting into often believe their high-minded rhetoric and join them, that bad people are able to harness and grow that passion to serve their goals, and that it can get away from those who thought they could control it. Like now.

13. They may have been a small minority then

but they are sucking more and more people in.

Not to mention they have guns (and yes, I know some libersla have guns, but tnot to that degree.)

And they steal elections.

[FakeNoose]

14. I half-agree with you

Yes they have guns.

No they're not smart enough to steal elections. They are the worker bees who are happy to do what they're told. The RWNJs like Charles Koch, Robert Mercer, and many others (you know their names) are stealing the elections and using the fundies for their own purposes.

16. I'm talking about gerrymandering and voter suppression.

No, the voters aren't smart enough to do it themselves. But they are just barely smart enough to vote for it to be done.

[malaise]

3. Their only religion is money and power

but otherwise she's right

[AllaN01Bear]

4. congrats on your gazzilionth post ( no such word but i made it up)

[wnylib]

11. I'll second that.'

Keep a good thing going, malaise.

[malaise]

17. Thanks to all of you

No Facebook, no Twitter.

9. Congrats on 230,026 for that matter...:)

[CousinIT]

5. Dominionists. Yes they do. n/t

[Canoe52]

6. What could be better than a fundie utopia?

[WarGamer]

7. No.

The GOP only "uses" the Religious right.

In the days of Reagan the religious right was recruited to cement support for the millionaires, corporations and the racists, elitists and the selfish.

The GOP obviously still wears the cross on the front of their uniform but has hookers, blow and burning crosses underneath.

10. The fundies wanted to take over the GOP, then Wasington

1-6 is a sign they are losing control

[Silent3]

12. They most powerful Republicans don't want theocracy, per se, but...

...they'd gladly supply it to "the base" to get what they want from them, and knowing that they'd operate above the restrictive laws of that certain-to-be-corrupt-and-hypocritical theocracy.

[Hekate]

15. There is abundant evidence that this is so. nt
